BRCu Skill Eval3.0 - App Store

The BRCu Skill Eval application facilitates the BRCu, BRC2u-LW and 3WBRC Skill Evaluation performed at the end of the MSF Basic RiderCourse by an active MSF-certified RiderCoach. Please note that you must be a certified, and active, Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach to receive any benefit from the use of this application. If you do not have a valid RETSORG account, it would be a waste of your time and resources to install this app.

Rather than use the paper score sheet with a clipboard, pencil, and stopwatch, the app allows a certified RiderCoach to score the evaluation completely electronically. Scoring is assessed by tapping controls on the iPhone or iPad screen, with a logical progression of scoring screens provided throughout the evaluation. For evaluations 3, 4, and 5, an on-screen stopwatch is provided, but you are not required to use it - the time can be entered manually if you choose to do so. The Standard Distance for evaluation 3 is calculated automatically. During the skill evaluation, a student’s score is continually updated and displayed on that student’s evaluation page so that the RiderCoach has an immediate view of that student’s status. At the end of the evaluation, each student's score can be reviewed with the student (using an individual score sheet display on screen), and a standard MSF score sheet (individual, or group, or both) can be produced with the necessary annotations. This PDF form can be printed, shared, filed, etc. using standard iOS features.

A subscription is required to (1) start a new evaluation, (2) continue an evaluation that was interrupted before being completed, (3) make any changes while reviewing a completed evaluation, or (4) create a PDF of the MSF score sheet for any completed evaluation. Subscription options are offered from which to choose an appropriate subscription for your needs. (Note that you must have an active internet connection for the purchase offer and purchase completion to succeed.) If you only coach occasionally (e.g. two classes a year), the "Good for a day" non-renewing subscription may be all you need. It allows the user to use the app for 24 hours from the time of purchase, but does NOT automatically renew at the end of that 24-hour subscription period. The other subscription options include monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. All of these auto-renewing subscriptions offer the first month of usage for free, to allow you to evaluate the app to determine if it is appropriate for your needs. Each will auto-renew at the end of the subscription period, using the payment method you have associated with your App Store account. You can change or terminate your subscription at any time up to 24 hours before the end of your subscription using your device's subscription management features in the Setting app.

After selecting the appropriate subscription, I recommend spending a little time becoming familiar with the behavior of the app, versus learning to use it on-the-fly during a live evaluation. Rudimentary instructions are provided on the Preferences screen for the individual scenes provided in the app describing the behavior and navigation of each one.

Benefits of using the app vs. paper/clipboard/stopwatch:
. Eliminate score sheets flying around in the breeze.
. Calculate scores automatically and reduce mathematical errors.
. Eliminate possibility of the paper score sheet getting wet and unusable. (However, you should still be concerned about the water resistance of your device.)
. Correct errors more cleanly.
. Reduce possibility of transposing scores into the wrong column on the group score sheet.

Thank you for considering the use of my contribution to motorcycle safety training, and for your efforts in the advancement of the sport that we love.

Version History Changes in version 3.0

Enhancements:
• Added "eye" icon in RETSORG password entry field, to show or hide the password characters.
• Added support to share app preferences across multiple devices using iCloud Drive.
• Adjusted logic to allow editing of the initial time field of the 3WBRC Eval3 & Eval4.
• Changed minimum supported iOS version from 12.0 to 13.0, to add Home Screen Quick Actions:
Start new evaluation
Review last evaluation
Preferences
• Updated usage notes to document the existence of Home Screen Quick Actions.
• Changed app launch sequence. Instead of presenting the subscription purchase scene if no valid subscription is active, the app will now launch to the initial class list scene, so that users who have cancelled their subscription can still review any existing evaluations already completed. A subscription is required to:
(a) start a new evaluation
(b) continue an evaluation that was interrupted before being completed
(c) make any changes while reviewing a completed evaluation
(d) create a PDF of the MSF score sheet for any completed evaluation
• Added link on About page to allow user to send email to customer support.
• When producing the PDF score sheets, "N/E" (for Not Evaluated) is entered into any blank spaces that would result from not registering a time for Eval 3 and Eval 4. (For example, if the student had registered an immediate unsuccessful score prior to Eval 3 and had not participated in the remaining skill evaluations after that point in time.)

Bug fixes:
• Implemented response to new RETSORG server requirement that a user's password must be reset every 90 days.
• Fixed color of edited text in time fields of the 3WBRC Eval3 & Eval4.
• Updated usage notes to document the ability to remove a default locations from Preferences.
• Fixed URLs used to access the Billing and Subscription Management pages of the App Store.
• Fixed bug that would sometimes purchase a different subscription than the one selected by the user. 3.0 06/01/2025 Bug fix: The page displaying the various subscription options would sometimes get confused about which price to apply to which subscription. The page has been educated, and should no longer experience befuddlement. 2.0.1 08/30/2022 3WBRC support! 2.0 06/04/2022 • Implemented vertical navigation in Evaluation sequence, to allow user to swipe up or down to go to the next or previous evaluation for the current student. Similar to the current horizontal swipe method to move from student to student throughout the evaluation, you can now swipe down to move to the current student's previous evaluation, or swipe up to move to the current student's next evaluation.

• Implemented different color backgrounds for each evaluation group.

• Adjusted program logic to prevent the "keyboard flash" while entering names during evaluation setup.

• Added confirmation dialog when cancelling from a skill evaluation setup when at least one name has been entered into the names table.

• Changed PDF annotation logic when both first and last name of student is provided to format the name within the name box on the form using two lines. 1.1 12/29/2021 • Addressed crash caused when a number larger than 127 was entered in the Evaluation 3 distance field.
• Added an alert to notify the user when a distance value greater than 30' is entered.
• When Evaluation 3 speed is too slow, the app will no longer automatically select the distance field.
• When the Evaluation 3 distance field contains just a 0, the field will be automatically cleared after the elapsed time has been entered (either manually or via the stopwatch).
• Corrected color of Beyond Standard Distance label in Student Review when either the time or distance values are changed.
• Fixed incorrect spelling in In-App purchase failure handler error message.
• Added display of alert dialog when RETSORG page load encounters a URLSession error (instead of crashing)
